Families of Agbogbloshie victims call for justice
By Awudu Salami Sule
The bereaved families of the three
victims who were cruelly massacred at Agbogbooshie, a
suburb of Accra on Tuesday August 25th has called on the
government to ensure that Justice prevails.
The victms, Alhassan Fuseini, M. Suala and J.Y Sule had
since been buried but the police are yet to arrest the
killers.
In an interview with Ghanadot, Alhaji Aliu Alidu, father
of one of the victims said, for him to have confidence
in the government, the alleged killers must be brought
to book.
He revealed, after the December 2008
run-off elections when the National Democratic Congress
(NDC) won the Presidential elections, some supporters of
the New Patriotic Party and the National Democratic
Congress at Agbogbloshie clashed and many innocent
people were wounded. "But nobody was arrested by the
police" he noted.
He said the failure by the police to arrest
perpertrators of the first incident encouraged the
tuesday August 25 massacre.
"The culture of impunity rearing its head in this
country does not augur well for our young democracy and
it is high time it comes an end", he advised.
In order to promote peace in the area and among the
feuding factions, Alhaji Alidu has called on the
government to as a matter of urgency find the killers of
the Agbogbloshie incident and put them before court for
trial.
